   Happened to find this place listed on Eater. I’m visiting my grad school daughter, wanted to get her and her friend a nice meal. This was exactly what we needed! We went with our server’s recommendations and I’m so glad we did. Great food, great service!

   The food was fantastic! The service was rated 3/5 because while nice we felt rushed as they kept trying to clear our plates before we were done.

   The gnocchi with lobster was especially delicious. The service was very good. The only complaint is the noise level. However, we would definitely go back. We need to try the octopus.

   Long time since visiting the North End, and Little Sage was a fantastic reminder to come more often. The menu was more modern Italian than some others in the neighborhood, but flawlessly executed and graciously served. The chitarra pasta was perfectly al dente, and the ragu complex. The octopus was extremely tender and balanced with the richness of olive oil breadcrumbs and acidic sweet peppers. The fennel salad was clean, simple and fresh. Ended our meal w/ the basil panna cotta whose flavors mutated as it moved through the palate. Molto bene team!

   The food was very good - we had octopus and two pastas - but we barely saw our server, waited a very long time for water multiple times (including ten minutes at the start of our meal), very long time to place our order, very long time to receive and pay the bill. We felt forgotten. At prices like these, a higher, more responsive and even proactive level of service is expected.

   Well thought out menu. Portions were perfect and lovely flavors. We weren’t fans of the appetizer lamb skewers—Way too sweet. Octopus salad and fennel salads were perfect. I liked the light airy modern dining area,albeit very tight space once the dinner rush comes in. Lovely dining experience overall

    Service was spotty, restaurant is extremely noisy with tables close together and no “decor” to speak of (blank walls). Food was not as good as the original Sage restaurant - the pasta dishes we had were only so-so -and overpriced. Overall very disappointed and wouldn’t hurry to go back.
